I am MayAlexandra, I married my husband FranklinSamson in 1999 when I was 20 years old and he was 23. It was a quiet and peaceful wedding with a small mumber of family members and close friends; he took me on a surprise honeymoon to Sydney, Australia for two weeks, a place he knew I'd always wanted to do. After getting married Franky and I decided to move to the outskirts of Plymouth into a three bedroom house which was small but cosy.

Yr1: Our first neighbourhood housed some quite poor families and very quickly we discovered that the young woman living in the flat above was struggling to cope with her twin boys who were 9 months old. After much discussion Franky and I decided to approach her, she was thankful for our help and after the twins first birthday the woman convided that she wanted us to adopt them. Shocked, we took on the responsibility of them happily, we kept their birth names: CarsonElijah and RomanAtticus

Yr2: A tradgedy strikes our family! My brother's childhood friend, a man who was like a brother to me gowing up, suddenly dies in a car crash orphaning his two daughters. After the adoption of Carson and Roman, the process of taking in JessaVictoria (4) and LiviaOpal (17mo) doesn't take very long at all. Franky and I are content knowing that that is what my friend would have wanted.

Yr3: Because I was just 22 years old and had four children in my care, Franky and I had agreed on not trying for biological children of our own until our youngest was settled in school. However nature had other plans and I wound up pregnant with a baby boy. Despite it being unexpected, Franky and I were thrilled, we named him TobiasHenry and he was a welcome addition to our brood.

Yr4: Franky's great aunt Freida dies leaving us her large house and estate in rural Devon countryside, plus £2,000,000! The family is excited but we try to keep the children's feet on the ground. We're pleased to move as the house was becoming uncomfortably crowded with all five children.

Yr5: With the bigger house and grounds the childreb begin begging for pets. It doesn't take long for Franky and I to give in, we adopt two young dogs from a local shelter and the children call them Bill and Bob - despite Bill being a female.

Yr6: After the adoption of Bill and Bob the children push their luck for another, more unusual pet... Three months after they began asking, Franky brings home a baby turtle which we keep in a special warm conservatory of it's own. The children call him Squirt.

Yr7: My little sister Ava, who is 23, gives birth to a baby girl. She is my first niece and I am very excited, Ava calls her LisaJane.

Yr8: After the birth of my niece LisaJane, I am hit with baby fever, Tobias is nearly four years old so I approach Franky about trying for a second biological baby. To my shock and happiness he agrees, it doesn't take us long at all to get pregnant but we were in for the shock of our lives at the 12 wk scan. Triplets! Identical boy triplets!!! Eight months later my boys come and we call them: SebastianKeith, ArthurSydney and JeremyQuinn.

Yr9: My younger cousin Elizabeth, 19, gets married to her boyfriend of five years. It is a big and flamboyant affair but I am honoured to be picked as one of her bridesmaids.

Yr10: Several bursts pipes force us from our home, scattering us across our various relatives. I take the triplets and move in with Ava and LisaJane while Franky, the rest of the children, Bill, Bob and Squirt invade on Franky's rich and single brother - who isn't too impressed with the sudden influx of noise on his peaceful abode. It takes three long, stressful, and uncomfortable months to fix the pipes and get the house back to the condition which is was.

Yr11: A close friend when mine and Franky's first neighbourhood dies suddenly of unknown causes and leaves her three year old son in our care. We adopt him quickly and all of our children make him feel welcome. He is called EvanJames.

Yr12: I am interviewed on a talk show! It was all very exciting and my older children played it up to be much more than it was. I talked about adoption mainly but also the hardships and rewards of running such a large family.

Yr13: Franky comes home with a parrot! Of course the children love him; I want to kill him. However the children have ow seen the bird and so we have to keep it. They call him Pauly after I told them that they could not call HIM Polly.

Yr14: All of the children keep asking if they're going to get any more younger siblings, one night Franky brings this up and we "talk about it". One month later I find that I'm pregnant. With triplets. AGAIN!!! They're all boys. AGAIN!!! The trips are born healthily, we name them: BeckettTheodore, PhoenixJacoby and EdmundCooper. The other children are thrilled.

Yr15: One day the older triplets rush into the house clutching a small squirming bundle. It was a puppy! A very badly injured puppy, the boys say they found her by the side of the road, I whisk her away to the vets and we all wait anxiously. The puppy, a little girl, miraculously pulls through and by now the whole family want to adopt her; when her original owners are not found I offer her a home. The little girl comes home with me and the children, obviously, call her Lucky. Bill and Bob take to her instantly and Bill especially takes her under her wing.

Yr16: When one of his friend's mother's becomes ill and hospital-bound, Tobias takes it upon himself to bring his friend home and insist that he stay with us until his single mum can look after him. The boy is called GregorVincent and is twelve years old, at first he proves to be a little troublesome but he soon settles down. After 9 months it is time for him to go back to his mum's but he is reluctant to leave, after talks we her we decide to unofficially adopt Gregor who is happy to spend the week with us and go to his mum's on the weekend and in some holidays.

Yr17: We adopt a new pet! As if we didn't have enough, but this one was actually my idea. Since Bill, Bob and Lucky grew to be quite big, and I can't exactly cuddle Squirt or Pauly, I am yearning for a lap cat. I find one at a local shelter who came from a family with dogs and fall in love with her. Since she is already three years old we keep her name: Bluey (because of her beautiful eyes).

Yr18: Franky's dad becomes terribly sick, he moves in with him to take care of him but he lives 400 miles away, leaving me to take care of all of the children. This puts a massive strain on me, so much so that I plead for Ava to move in with LisaJane. My brother even pops in several nights a week to lend a hand.

Yr19: After the younger triplets I was advised to no more children. So with that in mind Franky and I announce that we are going to have more children - we have already set our eyes on boy/girl twins that are eight years old - with the go ahead of our other children we set the wheels in motion. Six months later we bring JensenForrest and AmeliaWillow home.

Yr20!: When we're alone, after a brilliant and massive 40th Birthday Party for me, Franky gives me a tentative surprise present. It is the adoption forms for a group of teenagers who were badly abused and are in desperate need of a stable home. The two boys and a girl are triplets and are 15 years old. I don't even have to sleep on it, I give the go ahead. All of our children are excited to meet their new siblings; LleytonAmadeus, TennysonWeston, and RebekahBelle.
